6. A 1797-kW ground-mount solar array on nine-acre Field I in Amherst.

7. A 1728-kW ground-mount solar array on nine-acre Field K in Hadley.

All capacities in kW AC. Systems 1 and 2 have been operation since 2010. Systems 3-5 were operational in 2016. System 6 was operational in 2017, System 7 in 2018. Peak-shaving battery storage systems are installed but not fully operational for Systems 6 and 7.

Present estimated output is 100% for Systems 1-5, 50% for System 6, and 0% for System 7.

The Massachusetts SRECs for all but one solar PV (System 2) are sold. Hampshire College will own the RECs from the two large solar fields (systems 6 and 7) starting in 2028.

Starting FY2018, Green-e certified replacement RECs will be purchased under a three-year contract from Sterling Planet, enough to cover 100% of campus electricity use plus a contingency, 23,200 mmBtu.
